ABSTRACT
Patients with life-threatening injuries represent approximately 10%–15% of all patients hospitalized for injuries. 1 Some authors have defined severe trauma as a patient who has an Injury Severity Score (ISS) greater than 15. 2–4 For triage purposes, information available in the pre-hospital phase and primary survey should be used.
